Even warmer Friday around Omaha with highs into the 80s

OMAHA’S CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BILL RANDBY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST RANDY FACTOR TIME FOR FRIDAY. FRIDAY GETS A NINE. ANOTHER SPECTACULAR DAY TO BE IN WORK OUTSIDE. TODAY WAS AT TEN. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE STOPPED AT 79 DEGREES. ONE MORE DEGREE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT, BUT IT STAYS IN AND 35 DEGREES. THE LOW TEMPERATURE THIS MORNING WAY ABOVE AVERAGE, BUT THE RECORD IS 85 FOR THE STATE. NOW TOMORROW’S RECORD HIGH. THAT’S 78. AND WE THINK WE’RE GOING TO GET THERE. NO MOISTURE. IT’S DRY. LET’S LOOK AT THE OLD MILL AREA CAMERA AT THE CHARLES SCHWAB BUILDING 66. A LITTLE SOUTHEAST BREEZE AT SEVEN. DEW POINT IS 4060. NOW IN BELLEVUE 69. BLAIR 68 IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. QUITE A SPREAD. MANY LOCATIONS INTO THE 50S LIKE ATLANTIC AND CARROLL AT 57. SAME FOR COLUMBUS, BUT YORK IS STILL 70, AS IS MARYVILLE, MISSOURI. ALL RIGHT, YOU SEE THIS LITTLE TINY SOUTH BREEZE FOR THE METRO, FOR FREMONT, FOR LINCOLN TEMPERATURES, MAYBE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT VERSUS LAST NIGHT. THE RADAR AND SATELLITE, WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER LATE DAY TODAY, BUT THOSE CLOUDS ARE STARTING TO THIN AGAIN AS THE FLOW IS COMING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THAT MILD PACIFIC AIR TOPPING THE RIDGE IN THE WEST. REALLY, REALLY WARM WEATHER FROM CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO DOWN TO TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA. AND THAT IS GOING TO EXPAND INTO THE OMAHA METRO THE NEXT FEW DAYS. RAIN CHANCES, EUROPEAN COMPUTER MODEL THROUGH FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. SEE, THE TIME GOES BY HERE, BUT WE’RE GETTING NOTHING FOR RAIN TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, MAYBE THURSDAY. A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. OUR NEXT CHANCE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NO, NO, IT’S TOO WARM. TOO DRY. NO SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT WEEK. ALTHOUGH WE COULD STILL GET SNOW AS WE GET INTO EARLY APRIL. SUNSHINE TOMORROW MORNING. SUNSHINE FOR THE AFTERNOON. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE OUT OF THE NORTH. TOMORROW NIGHT. PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR. SATURDAY. SUNNY AND THEN THE BREEZE PICKS UP FROM THE SOUTH. THAT CREATES A FIRE DANGER, BUT IT BRINGS IN THE REALLY, LET’S SAY, EXTREME HEAT THAT THEY’RE FEELING DOWN IN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA. 45 TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY AND TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TOMORROW WE’RE IN THE 70S BY MIDDAY AND LOW 80S IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT WOULD BREAK THE RECORD, WHICH IS CURRENTLY 78 FOR TOMORROW. THE RECORD HIGH FOR SATURDAY IS 87. BACK IN 1907, FORECASTING 92 THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED ANY DAY IN THE MONTH OF MARCH IN OMAHA IS 91 DEGREES, GOING BACK TO 1875, WHEN RECORDS ARE KEPT, THAT WOULD BE THE HOTTEST DAY EVE
